Things Worth Noting
Princeton researchers made green hydrogen cheaper and more sustainable by using treated wastewater instead of expensive ultrapure water in electrolysis. Adding a small amount of sulfuric acid prevents calcium and magnesium ions from clogging the proton exchange membrane, extending electrolyzer life from 8 hours to over 300 hours. This simple fix cuts water treatment costs […]
Pharmaceuticals pollute oceans, harming marine life and ecosystems. Drug residues, like antibiotics and hormones, enter through wastewater, sewage, and runoff, contaminating water and accumulating in fish and shellfish. These chemicals disrupt hormones, alter fish behavior, and damage coral reefs. Microplastics worsen the issue by carrying drugs, increasing bioaccumulation. To reduce harm, we need better wastewater […]
